<p>With a favorable admissions decision yesterday (actually, two of them from a single school) and a family that's still in a bit of shock, as am I, I just wanted to thank the parents on this forum who have given me advice, posed difficult questions, or just commiserated about rough situations.</p>
<p>Hopefully the happy situations have already found your homes, or will do so shortly, and you all manage to keep a strong grip on reality during this stressful process. :)</p>
<p>Ha, I beat Cangel and her messengers to the advice (twice, of course!) :) The shock hasn't quite settled in yet, but I think the reality might become a bit more obvious once I actually open the envelope in a few days. Still, I was completely floored to read the acceptance, I wasn't expecting it AT ALL and things still seem a bit skewed from normal. The fact that so many of my friends got into their first-choice schools is definitely a bigger deal, and I'm so glad for all of them! :)</p>
<p>Thrilled for you! How lovely to see your dream come true. You seem like a delightful young woman and I wish you all the best. </p>
<p>I feel like my own kids got into college reading some of these posts from people I have seen post here for quite some time ;-)

PS...I have a daughter who is a freshman at Brown who is contstantly bubbling over with how much she loves the place! You are sure to have a great time as well.</p>
